[pmwiki-users] quoted text markup

[Dominique Faure]

IMHO and after a look at
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/MarkupMasterIndex, I would suggest
to keep on using the prefix/suffix pattern that emerges in the
"Character format" section, and chosse one of:

'"quoted text"'
{"quoted text"}
["quoted text"']

Dominique
